Franky, Male Halfling, Lore Keeper

TO Percy: "'Destiny is life waiting for you to make a decision.' The great Elven King, Alistaris the II, said that to his son, Larium, before he left on farthing to unkown lands."

Franky smiles kindly at Koric's words. He seems to find comfort in the moment, and then begins to try to eat as heartitly as Koric does.

Franky, Male Halfling, Lore Keeper

Franky's head bolts up and he says "Crumple!!" He runs off and in the distance you hear the muffled neigh of a startled horse and saddled bags being rather violently rifled through. He joggs back into sight with a very big smile on his face, and holding a sack in one hand.

"I have homemade bread and Barrowshire Velvet Cheese to share." From the sack he pulls out a smooth wheel of mottled yellow and pink cheese and 2 loaves of bread. Looking at the cheese he says "It doesn't look pretty but it has a taste that's quite delicate and sublime. Perfect for meals while traveling."

He holds the one loaf of bread out to Koric and one to Lindal, and passes the wheel of cheese to Felicity. "Help yourselves." he says and smiles to himself.

Koric, Half-Orc Cleric of Pelor

Koric accepts the loaf of bread with a grin. "Many thanks, friend halfling. I have heard speak that the generosity of your people holds no bounds... and I am glad that it is true!"

Koric sloppily takes a bite out of the loaf, but then stops abruptly, looking very guilty. "But, where are my manners? My pardon, friends..." as he takes the loaf of bread out of his mouth, breaking off the third that he bit into. He then takes the remaining two-thirds of the loaf, and breaks it in half and hands them over to Felicity and Percy on their log. "Here, friend human, friend elf, feast! Feast! Oh, and lady elf, might I have a small piece of that cheese?" Koric says with a smile.

"Oh, and Lindal, be sure to save some of your delicious dinner for our dwarven friend when he returns from getting more firewood."

OOC:Hope nobody minds my liberties in explaining away Voadam not being here.

Felicty cuts the cheese

Felicty cuts into the cheese wheel with a small knife, separating it into several pie-shaped wedges and passing the pieces around the circle. As she hands a chunk to Lindal, she smiles shyly and asks "Perhaps, half-human, you can teach me something of swordplay while we travel? If I am to carry this, I should learn to us it."

Felicty crumbles some of her cheese into her bowl of stew and digs in, using pieces of bread as a spoon. Stew dribbles from the corner of her mouth, which she wipes off with her fingers, licking them as she goes. "Mmmnnn," she nods, heartily approving of the combition of flavors.

"I've not eaten such a meal since, since I don't know when! Not even the Elves fed me as well before I left them."

Franky, Male Halfling, Lore Keeper

After finishing with the generous helping of hunters stew Franky sits back and rubs his full belly with both hands and quietly groans, smiling widely. "That was wonderful! By the grace of Yondalla may we eat lilke that again!!!"

Franky sits there for a while staring into the camp fire seeming to lose himself in thoughts. The content halfling's eyes seem to gloss over a little bit and he yawns rather loudly. "Well, I think that it is quite time for bed." He smiles and slowly walks out of sight and returns a moment later with crossbow and a blanket in hand. "I am thinking the caravan guards should be enough to keep us safe, but just in case...." (smiling at the crossbow ) "May Yondalla bless you dreams. Good night all." Settling down near his rock, he scoots a little closer to the fire and fades off to sleep.

Koric, Half-Orc Cleric of Pelor

Koric lets out a large belch, then looks guiltily around before cracking a large grin. "My pardons, but I believe my stomach agree with our halfling friend... that was an excellent meal. Many thanks, Lindal!"

At Franky's large yawn, Koric gives a chuckle. As Franky notes "I am thinking the caravan guards should be enough to keep us safe....", Koric chimes in "... but just to be on the save side, I think I should check in on our erstwhile guards, to see if they might need some help. But do not worry, I will make sure to get a fit night's sleep to allow me to be fresh and relaxed come Pelor's first light."

"May Yondalla bless you dreams. Good night all." "And you, friend halfling, will be rest assured that Pelor will watch over you until you see his shining face tomorrow." At that, Koric grabs his shield from off the ground and heads off towards what appears to be the caravan master's campfire, all the while rubbing his full belly and stifling the occasional burp.

Percy accepts his fellows hospitality with good grace, "My thanks to you. Your very good health," and eats with a combination of efficency and refinement that suggest both a proper upbringing and a lot of practice eating around campfires.

"I have a spare blanket if anyone is prone to chills? Otherwise I shall see what arrangments are most suitible with respect to setting guard, with your leave Milady," his asking of Felicity's permission seems purely formal and without further ado he stands and walks with Koric over to the Caravan Master.

OOC:
No he is being merely formally polite, not anything else.
Of course I imagine that Felicity might not know that...

 

[Mr. Prez]

OOC: Great.

With the roll above, does Lindal know anything about the surrounding countryside and it's dangers?

There are some wolves in the area, but they're not likely to bother anyone. It should rain within the next couple of days and flooding is a remote possibility.

Felicity says goodnight

Felicity puts her hand to her mouth to stiffle a giggle as Percy takes his leave... you might wonder that the color in her cheeks is less like blushing and more like applewine. She stands and pulls a bedroll from her backpack. "I've not been told to sleep anywhere in particular. If its okay, I'd like to stay by the fire. I chill easily, at night."

She spreads her bedroll out with her head on the log she where she was just sitting and her feet toward the fire, pulling out small rocks from under it as she smooths the blankets. After watcing both Franky and Koric keep their weapons close, she pulls a light crossbow out of her bundle and places it near her pillow. She seems a bit self-concious about it though, looking around the camp to see if others are arming themselves for the night was well. Soon she shrugs, as if unconvinced such action is necessary but willing to play along.

Once her bedroll is prepared she lays down to watch the fire burn low, looking in to the flames as she drifts off to sleep. Finally, just before she slips under, she says "Well met all, and goodnight." At that she turns on her side, and moments later you hear a most unlady-like snoring.

Lindal - Half Orc Ranger

Lindal smiled gently to himself as his companions settled down around the fire.

Yes, these were travelling companions well met for the road, and maybe people he could do more with - and learn more with.

But that would be something for another day.

For now, he got up, and strode off into the night to give one less check of the camp perimeter before sleep. He might not like his orcish blood overely much, but he wasn't about to dismiss it's advantages. Being able to see in the dark had it's good points.
